Mastering The Pitch
One of the most important skills an inventor or entrepreneur Must develop is the Pitch. It is the moment of truth that determines, in an instant, success or failure and every pitch must be developed for the intended audience. Although, some points may be the same, your approach to pitch a product to an end-user, a retailer or an investor would all be completely different. Successful business people know this.
Terrence Bentley is the epitome of the successful business person. His early career was in network Product Management (25 products). He finished up by closing deals in tech Corporate Development and Mergers And Acquisitions (M&A), Completing 40+ key strategic transaction ranging up to $3B in individual value, and delivered tech solutions in Product Management and Marketing.
Terence negotiated acquisitions, divestitures, and corporate restructurings, working with C-suites and Boards. He found running deal teams fascinating as he closed tech transactions in software, IT services,, databases, web applications companies, aerospace, network systems, and semiconductors. International M&A became his specialty, closing deals in the UK, Norway, Germany, Israel, France, Canada, and Brazil. Those deals varied from large public companies to private companies, VC investments, technology alliances and divestitures.
Sooooo, YES!!! I would say that he has mastered the pitch. After moving to Florida he became very active teaching startups as well as becoming a Founding Mentor of The Venture Mentoring Team www.thevmt.org which is an extremely interesting group. They have put together a huge, diverse team of experts that mentor various types of startups. This has got to be the most powerful organization of its’ type that I have ever seen.
There is a no nonsense application process and a rigorous format to follow if you are accepted as well as a commitment to Pay It Forward, once you achieved your goals by helping others who are starting out. Now, guess what part of that application process is … a 60 second pitch that must contain the answers to a whole list of questions.
